Clipper/Galleon at Shipyard Golf Club

About
The Clipper/Galleon Course at Shipyard Golf Club, which combines two of the three nine-hole golf courses on the property, creates an exciting combination of long fairways and perilous hazards. Clipper/Galleon has a rating of 74, with a slope of 133 from the championship tees.
With plenty of sand and water hazards, Clipper may be the most difficult of the nines. Designed by George Cobb and built in 1970, Clipper requires a good long game and a soft touch around the greens.
Galleon, the original nine holes, meanders through large oak and tall pines. Accurate placement of approach shots into heavily guarded greens is necessary on this nine.

Great course
Loved it! Staff super friendly-especially for a first timer.
Good time
The fairways and greens were in great condition for February. I had a foursome on the front nine and was a single on the back. Play was slow but I still enjoyed it.
Enjoyable Round
Rainy afternoon and had the course to myself. Enjoyed!!!!!
Great Experience, Beginning to End
This is exactly what a golf experience is intended to be.
From the online booking experience (last minute), to the arrival (where they whisked my golf bag away and loaded it onto a cart), to a professional and friendly greeting inside the Clubhouse...Shipyard Golf receives my highest rating.
On Hilton Head Island many of the courses are beautiful - what can really separate the experience is the staff...and at Shipyard they made the experience fantastic. Every employee I encountered made me feel as though I was a pro golfer - thank goodness the first tee box was a considerable distance from the Clubhouse (laughing).
For the record - I played the Brigantine course, which happened to wind its way past the condo where my family was staying for the week. The course wasn't crowded that day, so I was able to stop and visit for a few moments - another great advantage.
I'll visit again, for sure - classy experience all-around.
Enjoyable round
Considering it is still classed as winter (February) in South Carolina, the course was in excellent condition. The fairways were very good and the greens were excellent, as were the bunkers. With the Golf Now Hot Deal the price was also very good. A rainy afternoon and I had the course to myself.
nice catch after morning rain
greens and fairways were in great shape. In February!
Slow…..
Staff not very friendly or accommodating.
No rangers to be found on the course to speed up play.
Course was in great shape but they have all skill levels play on this course so they need rangers to move the slow ones who do not appreciate the effect slow play has on the entire playing field
Course in great shaoe
Bunkers greens and fairways all in great shape compared to other HHI courses with winter grass conditions. Course marshal needs to be more diligent in allowing faster groups to play through slower groups as we had to pass a 4 some on a par 3 including their players using the restroom when there were 2 open holes ahead of them. Lack of self awareness.
Worth every penny
This place is a true gem. From tee box to greens, perfect conditions. Roughs are dormant, but they over-seeded everything else and it’s as green as can be. We were lucky and got a hot deal for $50. But we would have been just as happy if paid $80 or so per golf now. Highly recommended
Great staff and course
Second time playing Shipyard on our trip. Both times the overall experience was great. Course was in excellent condition and staff was welcoming and great.
Recommend play.
